Stop Playing Small Channeled Message

Transcript

Laura West:

So nice to see you as you start coming into the room. I’m so glad to be with you today on this very, very cold day where I am. I’m in the Boston area. Introduce yourselves to the community here and let us know where you’re from and if you’re new here. Welcome. For the first time. I let folks gather and then I do a little preamble so you know what to expect and if you’ve been around, welcome back. It’s always nice that we get to do this together in this space. Tell us where you are in the world. If you’re in the Boston Metro New England area it’s mighty cold right now and I’m working with you from my home office today. We had some pipe plumbing issues and I was not able to be out of my personal arena and I just pivoted all my clients, blessed that I am, to work from home, and I’ll be back in the office next week. Nice job. We’ve got some Australia, Holland, Austria, Connecticut. Welcome. I just love that we all get to be together in this way here in this capacity from all over the place. It’s such a lovely global community. I’ll just wait another minute as folks.

So while folks are still coming into the room, looks like there’s more people gathering. I’m going to do a little explanation for you and then I will get started. So, as I just mentioned, I’ve been channeling the Council of Light for twelve years now. They are a group of divine light beings who have come through my voice box. They are from a space called Source, or sometimes I call it Zen Emptiness. Sometimes some people call it God Source, some people call it the Angelic Realm, whatever you like to think of the space around us in our divinity, our sacredness, that’s where they’re from. And they are a universal We. But they come as one voice and they work with me on a personal level. They work with me with clients, and they work with me here. I bring them through this space here once a month to practice gratitude. I have a really strong gratitude practice in my personal life for the work that I get to do as a Psychic Medium and an Energy Healer and an Herbalist. And I just feel so much bliss in my everyday waking life. And so as an opportunity to share that with others and as part of my craft, this is a way that I, as the human being, give back to my community. But also the Council of Light like to also just come and give guidance. And so they do that regularly.

Okay, so I am going to close my eyes. Not because I go into a trance, I’m fully awake and fully alert, and I remember what they say, but because it just helps me to feel like I’m in tune with the vibe of them. And so it might be nice for you too, to lay down or close your eyes. Hopefully you’re somewhere where you’re not distracted right now. Hopefully you’re in a meditative like quality or relaxed quality. Some people like to take notes during this time, so you might want to have a notebook and a pencil or something. Other people just like to bliss out and feel the vibration and listen to the words. And then at the very end, as I’m wrapping up with them, they’ll make it really known that they’re finished, and I’ll come back online or open my eyes and come back into this speaking realm like I’m speaking to you now. And we’ll do a little debrief before we say goodbye until next time. You’re welcome. You’re very welcome.

So let’s get started, crew. Let’s go into our divine, sacred space together and just take a deep breath, closing those eyes if you want to. I put on my very sparkly night, smoky black eyeshadow today. It’s that kind of day here in this cold New England weather.

It was negative ten with a windchill of negative 30 this morning when I woke up, hence the plumbing issues in my personal space. I am so happy to be in this arena, in this dialed back, spiritual, sacred space. And now here they come.

Council of Light:

Greetings to you all. It is so nice to be with you once again. We are the Council of Light, and we are here to say welcome to your divinity, welcome to your sacredness, welcome to your authenticity. You are in this space, you are in this place, and you are where you should be at this exact moment in time, listening to our words as we tinker and we harmonize and we align and we alchemize your energetic frequencies We are really pleased to be with you in this regular fashion. We have been coming regularly and diligently through the voice box of this woman, and today is no exception.

We have seen a theme in many of you as you begin to emerge from cocoons of lives across your entire Earth plane, and that is that you are still playing small. Lots of you are still playing small. And we want to remind you that it is not your job in this lifetime to ever play small.

You did not incarnate as humans. You did not decide to come to this lifetime. You did not decide to become human and incorporate yourselves into that physical reality, to hold yourselves back, to limit yourselves, to be less than your greatest possible self, to aspire to all of your dreams coming true. You didn’t decide that when you were in your soul forms before you incarnated in these human forms.

You came to be in human existence in these human forms because it’s an opportunity. Opportunity to play and have fun and grow and explore and live grandly.

What do we mean by living grandly? Well, that’s up to you. Some of you live grandly by living in a tiny studio apartment. Some of you live grandly by living in palatial palaces. Some of you live grandly by a touching base with your emotions every day. Some of you live grandly by being of service to others. Others living grandly has many different connotations to all of you and it’s going to be unique and individualistic for each of you. And yet as a global human connectedness, you are holding yourselves back.

There is a sense of not feeling like you deserve. There is a sense of feeling like if you ask for or you desire or desire or you go after that next step, that next dream board vision, that next place of movement along your continuum, that you’re being greedy or you’re being too materialistic or you’re stepping out of the comfort zone that your family has always known you to be in. And that’s not okay.

Well, that’s the point. Your lives are here as sliding continuum scales. Your lives are here to help you learn. Your lives are here as experiences. And if you were to always stay in the same place and never move forward, never experience the wonderment and the joy, then why would you want to be in this existence?

And that’s the point of all souls as they incarnate into those lifetimes there on that Earth plane, into humanness. It’s an amazing experience to be human. When you’re in your soul form, you’re in a very different essence. You have no diameter, you have no perimeter, you have no boundary. You are essence itself.

And on the Earth plane, when you’re in a physical form, in physical existence, you get to have a really visceral experience. And yes, it is challenging. Yes, it is full of speed bumps. Yes, it is emotionally upheavling at times, but it’s also full of so much sensory perception.

There are colors and there are vibrations and there are smells, there are textures, there are tastes, there are sensations that you don’t get to experience when you’re in a spiritually centered space that is your soul form between lifetimes.

So when you’re navigating through your desires of your lives and you’re stepping from one arena into another, you might understand that living in the one bedroom shared flat with the laundromat down the street used to work for you.

But now you want to be in your own flat, maybe with a partner or maybe alone. And you want to have your own washer dryer combo in your own space so you don’t have to lug the laundry the seven blocks every week. It’s okay to aspire to that.

Maybe for some of you, you’ve been in a partnership with somebody for a really long time, or you’re cohabitating and you’re raising children together and you’re realizing that your partnership is not quite right for you anymore. Maybe you’re realizing that you yourself have blossomed into a new emotionally intelligent arena and your partner has gone in a different direction, or your partner has not kept up with you and they have not done the growing at the same rate that you’re doing, you’re growing, and they don’t have any plans to grow into the future. And you know in your heart’s desires that it’s time for you to be alone or to separate yourself from that partnership, and yet you’re not.

You’re holding yourself back for the children, or you’re holding yourself back because you’re wondering how you’re going to pay the bills, or you’re holding yourself back because you don’t want the family to feel wounded if the partnership dissolves because the family loves the partnership.

In both cases that we’ve just described, you’re limiting yourself. It’s okay for you to want to have the laundry in house. It’s okay for you to want to be in partnership with someone that is emotionally as syncopated as you are, or to be alone for a while and take a breath if you’ve been with someone for a long time and you feel like you can’t take your breath.

We share those two examples, but there are many, many, many more that we could go into here that humans have been speaking or desiring. And we as the Council of Light, have sort of an earpiece, a listening device that is through your human consciousness. We are not spying on you as humans, and we are not here to change you as humans. We’re just here to counsel you and guide you. That is why we call ourselves the Council of Light. We give you suggestions after we notice patterns of thought formation, or we notice patterns of emotional formation, or we notice patterns of personal manipulation of some sort that does not present itself in a way that lets you live your most authentic selves.

You always have the right to be in alignment 100% of the time. So if that means changing your diet, and you know you want to change your diet, go ahead and change your diet.

We don’t mean grand, sweeping changes off the bat with complete upheaval. We mean tiny tweaks over time. Maybe in the mornings you cut out your carbs and you introduce greens or more fruits. Maybe in the evenings you take the full portion of food and you cut the plate in half and you literally put half into a container to save for lunch tomorrow.

Maybe some of you know that you want to become physically changed with your appearance, and you want to feel “fit” in whatever way that looks like for you. And so we invite you to tomorrow get off the couch for 15 minutes. Or during the commercials, while you’re watching TV at the end of a long day and you’re tired, do some stretches instead of just mindlessly sitting through the commercials.

You can take actions to micro tweak your lives. And yet you’re not. As a humanity you’re stuck. You’re spinning in circles and you’re rotating in place. You don’t have to play small. You don’t have to live in an arena that is spinning you in circles on autopilot. You can wake up. You can put it on pause. You can step to the left or the right. You don’t have to be on the auto track that is centered and moving straightforward. It’s okay to give yourselves permission to do something different, something that your soul really desires.

Because as we said in the beginning, you’re here in this lifetime to experience the maximization of your joy and your alignment and your happiness and your peacefulness. And along with that comes an emotional centeredness that matches a physical centeredness.

So the things around you in your physical arena get to match that. For those of you who are desiring different living situations or different quality of items in your structures or different driving or transportation situations, it’s all allowed to harmonize itself.

For those of you who want to change the ingestion of the quality that you put into your body on a daily basis, you’re allowed to do that. You don’t have to dream about it until for the future.

For those of you who want to switch careers or you want to learn a new craft. You might be holding yourself back because you’re afraid that moving into a new arena is too grand or you’re too old or you’ve missed the boat, or you’ve done the same thing for 20 years and it gives you the consistency of the paycheck. So don’t change now.

Again, you don’t have to completely sweep everything off the table and jump ship. You can go to school. You can take up a hobby. You can take up a craft. You can do something that some of you call side hustle. Your humanness has invented wonderful language to be able to help support you in all the different iterations of the expressiveness of your creativity.

And so we just pause here today. And we invite you to give yourself permission. We invite you to lean heavily into the heart space of the knowingness of whatever that truth is for yourselves.

Get the pet. Eat the chocolate. Go on the vacation. Apply to the school. Move to the better location. You’re allowed. You are allowed.

It doesn’t matter what your family and friends think. It doesn’t matter if you’re scared. Those are all false limitations holding you back. Your soul centeredness knows what it wants to do And whenever you are on your path of alignment, things flow, things open, and things harmonize.

You have this wonderful cottage industry that has grown up in your self help arenas and in your spiritually centered arenas called manifestation. All that it truly is just being in your centeredness, being in your right space, your vibrational trueness When you’re in that place, things fall into place.

It’s okay to get help along the way. Some of you are experiencing mental or emotional anguish. It’s okay to ask for support in whatever ways your humannesses give you that support. Some of you have talk support, some of you have medication support. Some of you have energy alignment support. It’s all okay. And there’s not a one size fits all.

Do whatever it is that you need to do to make yourself feel comfortable, so that you can make the microaction decisions, so that you can make the big sweeping changes. Do you see how one domino affects the others? Then suddenly the domino chain starts falling into place.

It might be nice for you to take a pause now. Some of you are saying everything’s aligned. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am completely in harmony. Good. That’s rare. And we celebrate that for you.

You can be the examples for others in your lives. You can be the teachers, not to stand on your soapboxes and preach loud and hard, but maybe there’s someone that could use you as an example. And so it’s time for you to open up to your colleague or your friend or your loved one who might need some advice. And for those of you who know that you could make some changes, or maybe there’s that goal that you had for the last decade or so that you’ve put on the back burner, today’s a pause day.

Listening to our words now give you the validation that it’s okay to put it into action. There are those of you who have had something in your headspace for so long that you have put it onto habituated autopilot. And it’s comfortably on autopilot now. But we want to spark the imaginative arena for you and we want to spark that remembrance for you that it once was a burning desire and you’ve just numbed it out because you’ve been concerned or afraid or worried that it wouldn’t come to fruition. Or that if you failed at it, it meant that it was a no or if you tried and it didn’t come to fruition, wishing on the first try that it wasn’t meant for you.

None of that is true. None of that is true Your soul always knows. Your soul always knows. Even if your conscious, waking, ego, rational mind doesn’t understand what we’re talking about. Your soul always knows.

There are ways for you to wake up every day and feel satisfied. There are patterns and processes and movements forward in your lives towards the yeses where when you put your two feet on the ground after sitting into your upright positions, you feel like you are aligned emotionally, psychologically, it’s possible for you to do.

And we are here to champion you along the way. You might take some time after listening to what we have to say today to go back and do some pause work, to really dig in deeply into the spaces where you feel like there might be limitation.

Maybe you secretly love the beautiful decorated pottery that serves no purpose other than to be beautiful on the sideboard. But you’ve never allowed yourself the frivolity of buying it because it’s not practical in your life. It’s okay. You’re allowed to have beautiful things just to make your space beautiful. It doesn’t mean that you’re a materialistic diva.

Maybe you’re someone who really loves the sugary sweet cereal, but yet you’re a health fanatic and you feel like you would be going against yourself and everything you stand for health wise if you were to eat that in the morning. You’re not breaking the bank. You’re not cheating yourself. The reason that’s been designed and created by humanity is because it’s okay to have sweets. You know how to do them in moderation. And if in the morning, that’s your time to really spark yourself into alignment and give yourself that touchstone with your joy, eat the sugary sweet cereal and then know that you can move on with your day with a balance of healthy, vibrant, fresh, whatever else that counters the sweets that are the sugar.

Do you see what we’re saying here? You can have the touchstones that flow through your lives in each part of your day. When you make tiny actions like this, when you align yourselves in micro moments over the course of time, what you’ve done is aligned yourself into a macro lifestyle of alignment.

You don’t suddenly need to win the lottery tomorrow and become a multimillionaire or a billionaire to have your dream life. You can have your dream life now with the money that’s in your bank account now with how however much or however not much you have.

Lean into one thing that brings you the joy. Lean into a practice. Maybe it’s a movement practice. Maybe it’s a mind concentration practice. Lean into a thought process. Lean into a methodology or a school of thinking, an educational way of framing things about the world.

We don’t ever tell you what to do. We’ve never counseled you on the exact science of a specific methodology or coursework or teacher or guru, et cetera. We’re just here to remind you to start.

Throughout all of humanity, there have always been folks who’ve leaned in to the yes. Whether they were the cave people who figured out to put the fire in the cave mouth so that the animals didn’t come in in their sleep and eat them, or the people who figured out that when you put something on a wheel and transported it, it moved it smoothly and they didn’t have to exert so much energy physically.

Or the people who were looking at the night sky through the telescopic lenses and figured out that the place that you are centered now revolved around something else.  Or the people who said, you know, when we stop using chemicals to grow these plants, our neighborhood doesn’t get as sick, whatever it may be.

Those folks leaned into something that was authentic for them at that moment and it has microcosmically created a pattern of syncopation throughout all of human history to help you be where you are now.

You are in a technology boom where you are globally connected to each other at the drop of a hat. In fact, you are in that space now. We are coming through a voice box of a human being that you would never know existed if it were not through the technology device that you are using now to listen to us.

And you are listening to us from wherever you are on that gridded network of the Earth plane. And she is in the Boston area of the United States of America. Some of you know that place intimately and some of you have never even dreamed of going to that place. And yet you’re all connected.

Never has there been more connection with more humans all at one time than now in history because of the technological advancements that you have created for yourselves. You are on a tipping point with your use of your technology. And we are watching humanity very carefully to see how it is affecting you in a space of touching your 3d physical, physical realities. Because so much of it is numbing, so much of it is falsified, so much of it is a sense of just beyond your reach that cultivates a sense of lack in your mind and then you can take yourself out of it.

So you are learning as a unified you, not individuals in this room. We see that many individuals in this room are cultivating a conscious connection with how you use your technology.

We’re talking about the global humanity pattern here. But many of you are learning how to interface and use technology in an interconnected conscious way. And then you step out, you dip in, and you’re interconnected in a conscious way, and then you step out again. You center again, you align again.

It’s a huge microphone arena, that technological space. When you connect and you plug in in the ways that you connect and plug in, you’re talking to everybody on the earth plane all at once. It’s a cacophony of energetic frequency.

And for those of you who are sensitive to energy, you are the sensitives of the Earth plane. You are the intuitives of the Earth plane. You are the empaths of the Earth plane. It can be an overwhelming arena to step into.

And so we bring this full circle back to what we said in the beginning. You can be in this modernized, technologically advanced society that is blossoming and changing how humanity is interfacing. And you can still be your soul centered, aligned self. And you don’t have to play small.

If you have something in your heart that you wish to share, it’s okay to share it. If you have a story or a craft or a process or a project or a connection that you want to put out into the world, it’s okay to do so using that technology. It doesn’t matter if it gets five arenas of awareness or 500,000 arenas of awareness. It’s there because you have a desire to share. Don’t put yourselves in limit. Don’t live yourselves in lack. Don’t live yourselves in a space of I can’t. I shouldn’t. I won’t, I’m afraid.

Because at the end of your lives, when you look back on the scope and sequence and the arc of what you’ve just come through, you will have missed a lot and you will regret it. How do we know that? Because you say it. When you’re at the end of your lives, the patterns are I should have reached out. I should have said sorry and reconciled. I should have been the bigger person. I should have gone through the learning experience. I should have taken up that craft. I should have said I want to try. I should have gone after my dream of moving or doing or being in relationship and in harmony in a new way. I’m sorry that I didn’t.

And let us also just give you this other little tidbit here that if you don’t and you get to the end of your life and there is the regret, don’t worry, you haven’t failed. You get to come back and do it again. It’s the next lifetime opportunity that you’ll give yourself. You get to always try. You get to always put your toe into the pool and say, oh, maybe today it’s the day I go swimming, or no thanks, I’m not ready yet. I’m just going to stand on the sidelines and watch.

We don’t come to today’s message giving arena to say to you that you are failing if you don’t move forward. We come to today’s message giving arena to say, hey, friends, you lovely, sparkly, bright human beings that are souls having these wonderful experiences there on that Earth’s plane, don’t forget you came here to try.

Don’t forget the lifetime that you’re in now is about movement, sliding forward, growing, evolving, harmonizing, aligning. You’re allowed and it’s okay.

We are here from spirit, we are here from source. And we champion you as humans. And we welcome the opportunity to pause with you in your lives, well, we’re not pausing, we’re actively talking. We’re actively cocreating this message to you.

But we are here while you pause to absorb the frequency of what we’re saying. You not only hear with your auditory ear what we are saying to you, but you absorb the frequency of what we say to you.

Some of you will act upon it immediately. Some of you will mull it over for a while. Some of you will take the vibration of movement that we talk about here and you’ll hold it in your heart chamber and the movement will come down the road. It’s okay. There’s no right or wrong and there’s no predetermined script of time for how you’re supposed to do it.

You are glorious. You are wonderful in your own space. You are uniquely you when you’re doing this at your own pace. What is this? This is your life. You’re allowed to dance. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to get unstuck. You’re allowed to give yourself permission, even if no one else gives you permission. Live in your excitement. Live in your comfortability. Live in your joy. Live in your contentment. Live in your fullness knowing that you are doing everything to the utmost of your zest. Live in a maximized space.

Maximization for some of you might mean, I’m resting now. Maximization for some of you might mean, I just spent 65 years doing, doing, doing, doing, doing. And now I’m going to spend some years resting, resting, resting, resting.

Maximization for others of you might mean, I’m in my 20s, blossoming myself into my life, and I am all about go, go, go. Go ahead and go.

We have shared so much nuance in today’s message with you. And the major takeaway theme is give yourself permission to live in a space that is not holding you back from what it is that you truly want. You are worthy and you are deserving. It’s very simple. And your human ego constructs of your minds create all kinds of stories and reasons and limitations as to why that’s not true. And yet that is your essence.

And so, with that, we will say thank you so much for listening to our words here today. We are so glad that we got to be in this space with you and to cocreate this awareness for you and with you, to you and through you. We welcome our time always with you in these arenas, and we look forward to being able to interface with you again in this group format.

Once again, for now, we will pause and say that we are the Council of Light. We wrap you in a golden blanket of light to sustain you and nourish you and keep you in harmony ever so tight until the next time we are to speak with you again. Goodbye for now. Namaste and Adieu.

Laura West:

All right. I’m back. I’m back. Welcome back, everybody. Or welcome in if you came halfway through. This was the Council of Light that have been talking through me. I channel them monthly for all of us in here.

I’m just going to take a sip of water. I invite you to give yourselves a stretch move into a space of being alert and awake if you’ve been in a space of resting or pause with your eyes closed. Oh, cool. England. I love England. It’s always a nice confirmation for me from the Council of Light. I channel them and I am a voice box for them, but I always take comfort and so listen their words and I hope you do, too. Thank you so much for being here with me today, everybody. It’s truly wonderful to be in this space together. I love being in this arena with all of us. I love gathering here and as they say, they do come regularly.

I mentioned this at the very beginning, but I like to do this once a month and with my kind of maximized system for myself and my organizational style, I try and do this on the first Saturday of every month at 04:00 p.m.. Eastern Standard Time from my Boston location. If you follow me here on our platform, then it will tell you when the next live event goes live and you can tag yourself into it. I will put next month’s event up right after saying goodbye on this month’s event. I always like to be organized.

Oh, you’re welcome, Linda. Yeah. Glad it resonated. You’re welcome, everybody. I love all the hearts. I’m seeing tons and tons of hearts come through here. It’s just amazing. The hearts feed my soul. So go forward with the rest of your day, go forward with the rest of your weekend. Go forward into the rest of this month, this week, this year, knowing, I guess, that we are all worthy of whatever it is that we want to manifest or whatever it is we’d like to alchemize or whatever it is that we want to bring forward in our lives.

Is it common to have a headache after this type of channeling? That’s an interesting question, Martina. Do you mean for me as the channeler or you as the receiver of the information? So sometimes, yes, that you could be feeling the energetic intensity, the bigness of whatever has been coming through here today. The Council of Light have shared in past messages that while they are coming through my voice box and we’re hearing them auditorily, they’re also doing energetic stuff with our energy field on a frequency level that is unseen but maybe energetically felt. And so there could be something that is being amalgamized. Is that even a word? I don’t know. It could be something that is shifting within you or something stirred or poked and prodded on an energy frequency level today.

And I happen to also practice the craft of Reiki. I’m a three time Reiki Master. And what I always say to folks in an interfacing way with this is we can think of that kind of intensity that’s coming through the body as something that’s getting ready to release. It could be something that’s getting ready to move or something that’s bubbling up from our subconscious, and it’s moving out of us. So perhaps that is a system that you want to identify with after having a headache today for that. I don’t know if that resonates with you or not, but that’s the way that I like to think of it.

And then certainly, of course, do what you need to do in whatever ways you know how to manage the headache, to take care of it. There’s not a right or a wrong. Oh, good. Yeah. I’m glad to hear that that resonates with you.

All right. We’ve been together for almost 40 minutes. I am going to shift us into a space of moving on, and I’m really grateful that we got to be in this space together in this way. Thanks, everyone, for being here, and I look forward to seeing you again next time. Bye for now.
